Deli Style Cheesecake

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS

 

1 1/4 cups water

2/3 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup brown rice syrup

1/2 cup raw cashew pieces

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

4 T agar flakes

3 T arrowroot or cornstarch

1 T vanilla extract

1 t salt

1 lb / 450 g tofu, drained and crumbled (firm, regular is

recommended, but others work just as well in my experience)

1 prepared cheesecake crust

 

 

 

 

 

 

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 350F/180C. Place all of the ingredients, except

the tofu, in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth and

creamy. Pour half of the mixture into a bowl and set it aside.

 

Gradually add half of the crumbled tofu to the mixture in the food

processor, and blend once again until completely smooth. Pour the

mixture carefully and evenly into a prepared crust. Do the same

again with the remaining tofu and reserved mixture. Smooth out the

top with a rubber spatula.

 

Bake for 1 hour, cool at room temperature, and then chill at least

four hours before serving. The top will crack while cooling, just

like 'real' cheesecake.
